Adoption Leave Procedure
This adoption procedure sets out the rights
of eligible employees to take paid leave to allow employees who
are adopting a child to take time off when a child is placed with
them for adoption. The policy sets out the minimum amounts of statutory
adoption pay and leave to which employees are entitled when a child
is placed for adoption within the UK or is adopted from overseas.
To qualify, the employee must have been continuously employed by
the company for at least 26 weeks.
The adoption
leave policy is suitable for use in England, Wales and Scotland
for employees who are due to have a child placed with them for adoption, or who
have a child adopted from overseas entering the UK, on or after 5 October 2008 and covers:
- period of adoption leave
- rates of statutory adoption leave pay
- periods of notice
- rights of employee during adoption leave
- rights of employee on return to work.
